Chapter 754: Xianzhen Camp VS Qingzhou Soldiers

The person in charge of the frontal attack of Cao Cao's army was Cao Xiu, the deputy general of Qingzhou soldiers. He saw his subordinates falling one after another in the rain of arrows. Within a few seconds, hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers fell down in Cao Cao's army, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Seeing this situation, Cao Xiu's eyes were about to burst. He waved his spear to draw away the arrows aimed at him, and at the same time shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to charge towards Si Junjun in front.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was in the middle army, was even more heartbroken. His most elite Qingzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties before they even engaged in the battle. If Huangfu Chaobo's Chinese army needed to be wiped out, the Qingzhou army would probably suffer close to 100 casualties. Half.

Although he was heartbroken about the casualties of Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao did not dare to order a slow attack because the number of cavalry on the periphery was gradually increasing. Cao Cao estimated that as long as they reached more than a thousand cavalry, they would attack his central army.

So although Cao Cao was paying close attention to the battle ahead, he was also slowly mobilizing his central army and moving towards a small hill in the northeast. The terrain there was slightly higher, which was just right for his spearmen to defend.

The deputy general of the army personally led the troops into the formation, which immediately boosted the morale of the Qingzhou soldiers. For a moment, the Qingzhou soldiers' killing sounds shook the sky, and they defended Cao Xiu towards the Sizhou army's position in the middle of the army without fear of death.

Facing the Qingzhou soldiers who were pressing forward step by step, Huangfu Chaobo did not panic, but commanded the crossbowmen to continuously fire arrows at the Qingzhou army. The short distance of twenty steps was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking the Qingzhou Army's progress.

However, the manpower will eventually be limited. The Qingzhou Army was originally composed of those yellow scarf bandits who were not afraid of death. Under Cao Xiu's encouragement, they moved forward desperately. Although the Zepao in front suffered heavy casualties, they still pushed forward.

After nearly a thousand casualties, Cao Xiu finally led the Qingzhou soldiers to the trapped camp. The Qingzhou troops from both sides of Hebei had also begun to break through the area of ​​arrow rain and approached the defensive circle of Sizhou soldiers.

As the shocking shouts of death rang out, the two armies finally collided.

But the result left Cao Cao stunned. Thousands of Qingzhou soldiers rushed towards the Sizhou Army's defense circle like a furious wave, but the opponent remained motionless like a huge stone. On the contrary, the nearly 100 Qingzhou soldiers at the front dissipated instantly like foam slapped on a boulder.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why can't the Qingzhou soldiers break through the opponent's defense? What kind of soldiers are those?" At this time, Cao Cao was like a furious lion, shouting at the people around him.

Next to Cao Cao was Cheng Yu. At this time, Cheng Yu was no longer as graceful as usual. The battle for half a month had made his face thin, but he was still energetic. He glanced at Sima Yi beside him. When Sima Yi saw this, he quickly He said: "Reporting to my lord, this army should be one of Huangfu Chaobo's personal guards. It is called the trap camp and is known as the most powerful soldier of the Han Dynasty."

After a pause, he continued: "When I was in Hanoi, I once heard that when this army was first established, it resisted Ji Ling's heavy infantry attack during military training and was undefeated for an hour. However, this has never happened before. When it officially goes into battle, no one knows its true combat power.”

When everyone heard this, they were horrified. The power of heavy infantry is well known to the world. Currently, many generals in the world can practice heavy infantry. For example, Cao Cao's subordinates Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren can practice heavy infantry. Compared with the imperial guards, infantry, swords and shields, heavy infantry The soldiers are even half a point stronger, which can be said to be extremely powerful.

Currently, only Cao Ren in Cao Cao's army has 500 heavy infantry. The reason why the number is so small is because the heavy infantry requires too much money and food. With Cao Cao's strength at this time, he is not allowed to spend too much on this. many.

At this time, the trapped camp in front of everyone was able to sustain for an hour under the attack of heavy infantry, which showed how powerful its combat power was.

"How to break it?" Cao Cao said;

"It is too difficult to break through from the front, but our army does not need to break the trapped camp. We only need General Cao Xiu to stay in the trapped camp, and the other two armies attack Huangfu Chaobo's central army from both sides. Jie Shi is sure of victory." Cheng Yu laughed at the side;

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

So what if you have a strong fighting force? You only have a thousand men. How can you protect thousands of people in the Chinese army?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao ordered the Qingzhou soldiers on both wings to speed up the attack. At this time, Cao Cao could not help but be in a hurry. Only a quarter of an hour later, Huangfu Chaobo's cavalry mass had exceeded 200 cavalry, so the attack on the city must be accelerated.

Following Cao Cao's order, more than ten thousand Qingzhou soldiers on both wings also accelerated their advance, and soon joined forces with the Sizhou Army in both sides of Hebei. It can be seen that the Sizhou Army on the two wings is obviously weaker than the trapped camp in the middle, and is slowly retreating under the attack of the Qingzhou Army.

The battle situation in front of them made everyone in Cao's camp very happy. It seemed that victory was close at hand. It is a pity that the soldiers on both wings slowly stabilized the battle line after retreating more than ten steps because the troops were more compact.

The war once again fell into a stalemate.

At this time, the top of Puyang City was filled with blood, and soldiers from both sides were fighting to the death. Above the west gate, Huang Zhong was fighting fiercely with Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei and Xu Zhuzheng, and the two guards were also fighting together. However, because Sizhou's army has many soldiers and generals, although the generals of both armies have flawlessly commanded the army, Sizhou's army is slowly controlling the battle situation.

Although Xiahou Dun has discovered this problem, he is powerless. He can only hope that Cao Cao can defeat Huangfu Chaobo's central army as soon as possible, so that he can turn defeat into victory, otherwise. . .

On the east wall, Wang Yong and Chen Jing each led hundreds of Iron Eagles to capture the wall. Although there were nearly 2,000 Tiger Guards on the east wall, the main general had been transferred to the west wall by Xiahou Dun, and the deputy general Xu Ding also led the remaining Tiger Guards to defend the north wall.

So at this time, the Tiger Guards on the east wall were led by Cao Charlie himself. However, although he was the lord of the Tiger Guards, Cao Charlie's ability to command troops was far from that of Huangfu Chaobo. After all, Huangfu Chaobo had experienced the most battles among the players, and with the usual words and deeds of Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other generals, Huangfu Chaobo's command ability was no less than that of ordinary Tian-level generals.

At this time, although Cao Charlie had nearly 2,000 Tiger Guards, he retreated step by step under the attack of 1,500 Iron Eagles led by Wang Yong and Chen Jing. At this time, the west wall was in danger.

On the north wall, Xu Zhu's brother Xu Ding led two thousand Tiger Guards to help defend the city. Although he lost hundreds of Tiger Guards, he still managed to block more than 20,000 Chenliu troops in the north city under the city wall.
